Editorial note: DOWNGRADED to Tier 2. Adversarial check: Tsushima's ISHRS membership is asserted only on the clinic site and ranking media — he does NOT appear in the ISHRS Find-a-Doctor authority directory — so principal verified=false and Tier 1 is not supportable. However the clinic ENTITY is independently confirmed via the Japan MHLW official medical-information network (government registry, 医療法人社団樹伸会) plus multiple independent Japanese platforms (女性セブン/j7p media, kireireport, shokumou, medionlife), so it stays. RED FLAG on case-count inconsistency (35,000 vs 39,000). Doctor photos are base64 lazy-load placeholders — photo=null. No phone/email published (web reservation only).
